Power Metal Techno

UF is the collision of Samuel Kerridge and OAKE. Self-described as "power metal techno," the project was born from a commission for Berlin Atonal and gestated over a decade of shared studio space, friendship, and debauchery.

Unknown Fate is the debut LP, collecting the energy of their live performances (2014, 2016, 2019) into 9 tracks of unadulterated sonic warfare.

"Pack your end of world survival bags and prepare yourselves for the ensuing riot." — UF

The Release Structure

The album was preceded by a series of aggressive singles that defined the project's dual nature:

  • Unknown EP (Feb 2024)
  • Fate EP (Feb 2024)
  • Agitated / Vanity / Lula (Lead Singles)

Sonic Identity

Mastered by industrial legend Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu), the sound is a "military assault on the senses" (Discogs). It moves beyond standard industrial techno into a territory of broken beats, screamed vocals, and metallic textures that redefine the genre's boundaries.
